SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0
Qt Version: 5.15.5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- This error persists for several months now and was present in earlier
versions of KMail, too (not sure which one).
- I tried every authentication method and also TLS without success.
- It looks like pop.gmail.com doesn't recognize my password anymore. My
password is a combination of uppercase, lowercase letters, digits and special
characters like *.
